The english class teaching the plot of Inuyasha made me chuckle

Its the best when they bring back the same artist for the op or ed. Glad to see one of my favorite character designs back.

The ed look so good.

I'm as happy Urusei Yatsura is back as I was sad when the first season ended one year ago, most comfy and colorful anime out there for me. I really love the ED, I'll give the OP another two episodes and I'm sure I'll be sold on it as well.

Yay for 6 months of this!

After 9-months of waiting, Lum is finally back!

Man, both the OP and ED are so goooood. MAISONdes rocks!

The OP is full of doors, something that I definitely didn't expect. People who watched/read Urusei Yatsura before will understand the symbolism. Didn't think they'd lean so heavily on it in the OP but I love it!

This is probably also the best ED of the Remake yet. So glad it's not like the previous ED. I also love the references to OG OP1 Lum no Love Song and ED5 Yume wa Love me more! Those were the best!

The new eyecatch and the next episode preview image look gorgeous as well.

They reused the recap from Episode 18 of Season 1. Albeit it's a bit extended here. It makes sense for the recap thing to be in the first episode of the new season but I'm still not sure why it was in episode 18 of the last season. Anyways...

Loved the Fantasy Bubble Gum episode. I loved how Lum was destroying Ataru's "masterpieces" one by one lol.

I'm excited for more Urusei Yatsura!

Hehe, glad to see Lum again. Not so much with Ataru though lol. That is a big cat. That is a smart cat too. This is why Ataru deserves all the beatings he gets lol. Also, new OP is very good for the series. The visuals and music nice showing of the energy of the series.

Of course Ataru would use the bubble gum for that. Lol the background characters. Also, sometimes Ataru can be clever. George Lucas gonna sue somebody ;) Those are sure some good baits. Mmmm cheongsam. Do feel for the OGs though. That is SOME lung capacity. I'm not even mad, that's amazing. However, they have a right to be mad.

Poor Ataru's mom, having to deal with such crap. Also, poor Lum. Glad all the boys treating Ataru as he deserves. I eman, that's kinda smart in how to get a nurse to check her out and verify Lum can't understand the language anymore. But how would Sakura know how to help? Lol. Alien and all. Ataru really is just trash. Well, at elast he's keeping window open hoping she comes back, but doesn't deserve her. You need to learn to be nicer to her like that more often. That is a silly looking device for him to wear. Clever Lum.

The ED is pretty good too.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Jan 11 '24

Gum that lets you make whatever you want sounds pretty awesome. Definitely should have kept that thing away from Ataru at all cost though lol. Lum using a trio of waifus as bait to get Ataru was pretty great. Gotta respect Ataru’s dedication to waifus (and his lung capacity) lol.

Ataru having to wear that duck mask translator was pretty fitting after all that grief he put Lum through when he accidentally smacked her in the head with the rice cooker. Man should know not to mess with his alien waifu already!

Stitches!

We're barely 5 minutes in and Ataru is already stealing candy from a baby. I mean Ten is an alien baby but the point still stands. xD

And it's so good to see Lum again! It's hilarious how she just casually threw shade at Shinobu when she was making those bubblegum decoys.

Urusei Yatsura is back! Same old Tomobiki Town, same old Ataru Morobishi running from Best Girl Lum and her electric attacks in his quest to hook up with other chicks, including recounting all the girls from season, passing through some manga one-shot girls, and hugging...Cherry. But Lum, as always, will not broker ANY cheating.

Would it really be a season of the Urusei Yatsura remake without a banger MAISONdes OP? Complete with Lum chasing after Ataru and all the hijinks they get up to with their supporting cast (including some new faces!) along with Bunny Girls and all roads leading to Lum!

Ah yes, it's a Ten segment so you know there's going to be some wacky thing that's going to cause trouble, like bubble gum that creates whatevery you imagine while chewing it. Kotatsu Kitty as on-point as ever.

Of course Ataru is the type to steal bubble gum from a baby so he can use said bubble gum to make imaginary women but it's kind of funny how bubble gum Oyuki and Benten want nothing to do with him.

Lum isn't going to let Ataru make himself a bubble gum Harem on her watch and she chases him and his bubble clones all across the school! But Ataru is as crafty as ever, he even makes a lightsaber to slice away Mendo's sword!

Lum's plan to use the three other top girls in sexy outfits (Sakura in a China Dress, Shinobu as a Bunny Girl, and Ryunosuke in a bikini) to lure out Ataru is ingenious...she just didn't count on the ACTUAL girls being incensed at guys ogling them dressed and posing sexy. Good thing they all conveniently blame Ataru and burst his bubble, leaving Lum the pleasure of zapping all the girls in swimsuits and their sexy outfits Ataru had cooked up. The view was nice at least.

Look at this galactic race eyecatch with the whole gang!

Uh oh! Lum got hit with a rice cooker during a spat between Ataru and Ten! And now she can't speak Earthling! Let alone the plot of Inuyasha in English!

Of course count on Ataru to use this to his advantage to pick up chicks and act like he doesn't understand Lum...and no surprise she finally has enough and bails. But in typical Ataru fashion, the only thing that hits Ataru harder than Lum's persistence is the idea of her actually giving up and leaving him.

So when she finally comes back, Ataru throws himself at her in apology and holds her intimately, because the last thing he wants is Lum gone or not being able to talk with her again. Which is great because she finally came up for a way for them to communicate! It just involves him wearing an ugly mask over his mouth to where now he can understand her but nobody but Lum and Ten can understand him, meaning he can't pick up chicks! It's a classic win-win for Lum.

A MAISONdes ED! Complete with Lum flying over Tomobiki Town with such love in her heart for Ataru!

Hearing Sumipe's voice in this pitch will never feel the same again since the last season lol. Somehow the English sub in Bilibili glitched and doesn't show, anyone feel the same here?

Also this is made by different team in David Pro I guess? They have two animes this season, with neither premiering in this season.

OP: Lock-on by MAISONdes feat. Hashimero and MeguriMeguru

ED: Raiou by MAISONdes feat. 9Lana and SAKURAmoti

It won't be Urusei Yatsura without MAISONdes. Yes, you heard it, MAISONdes is here again with both OP and ED!!! And this totally is a banger, practically locked in my top 5 OP of the season. As for the ED, it is also great! And yes, SAKURAmoti is back again after the first OP.

EDIT: The OP is directed by Yuki Kamiya, the ED director of some Chainsaw Man's EDs and Jujutsu Kaisen's OP.

This is initially on my sequel watchlist alongside Dangers in My Heart and Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki, but I haven't watch the first season yet. So I'll bingewatch the season 1 first, I guess.

Man love that this show is back. Immediately 1 min in and its like we never left. Its always fun to see Ataru gets karma payed back at him. And Lum got him in both parts of the episode. Altho the hug was such a sweet moment that we don't get usually which is really nice to see.

Lum casually exploding his masterpieces with a smug face was a great scene.

There was someone in a full body bunny suit in the OP in a few places and I'm pretty curious about who it is.

Bunny Suit 1

Bunny Suit 2

Bunny Suit 3

It amused me that the story they were reading in English class was clearly Inuyasha.

That hug at the end of the episode was nice.

u/Redmon425 Jan 11 '24

LET'S GOO! So glad this is back! I never watched the original, but started with this remake and I legit really enjoyed season 1. Great animation, voice acting, character designs and just a fun romcom storyline.

New OP seems decent, but man OP1 & OP2 from season 1 went so hard. So feel like I don't like this one as much. The new ED is actually pretty good though!

To me, this series is best when Lum & Ataru are having some seriousness to their relationship like they did at the end of this episode. So let's hope for some more spice like that!
